“Matt, how's Roni doing?”
"Miss Murphy… She should be fine."
"President Kings, Roni's pregnant, so why didn't you keep a closer eye on her?"
"I'm s-sorry… Matt, I-I… I didn't mean it." Four of them walked toward Matthew and stood in front of him as they expressed themselves, one after the other.
As soon as Sasha said that, Shirley instantly turned her head and glared at her. "What do you mean by you didn't mean it? You're just jealous of Roni and President Kings' close relationship because you're in love with him. You can't have him, so that's why you've taken action against Roni, huh? You're such a vicious woman!"
Shirley regarded Veronica as her family member, so she could not stand by and watch her be bullied. That was why Shirley loathed Sasha so much that she was angered beyond words.
"Who do you think you are? You've got no right to point fingers at me!" Sasha did not mind being told off by the gang, but she could not stand being chided by an outsider.
"What difference does that make? Anyone who harms Roni is my enemy too! Sasha, I'm warning you, if anything bad happens to the child Roni's carrying, then I won't let you get away with this!" Shirley's anger grew as she spoke and her voice became shriller.
Sasha also vented her simmering anger upon being pointed at and scolded viciously, so she reached out to shove Shirley. "B*tch! Who do you think you are to yell at me—"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Sasha, what are you doing?"
Skyler, who was standing by Shirley's side, saw her being shoved once again and she nearly stumbled to the ground. He instinctively wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her behind him protectively.
He frowned. "You're a woman too, so why are you making things tough for another woman?"
"Oh! So, she's the woman who seduced you, huh?"
A realization suddenly dawned upon Sasha. "No wonder you're bold enough to yell at me. It's because you've found someone to back you up, huh?" Sasha mocked Shirley displeasedly, but heart ached slightly. In the past, the four of them had the closest relationship, but now, Matthew sided with Veronica while Skyler stood on Shirley's side. What about me? she wondered who would actually show concern for her.
